I am very open with the fact i had the rny i dont tell everyone but my team.mates at work know and refrain from asking me " hey wanna cupcake" and crap like that. i am included in all activites in fact im the one who plans most of them. when they do takeout for pizza or chinese they make it a point to see if i want something that would fit my needs. i appricate the fact that the ask. i made a decision on how i will live the rest of my life and they all are behind me 100%

I respect the point of view of keeping the rny a secret. but for me the more support the better and it has been 100% sucessful.

I agree with this, absolutely!! I was VERY quiet about it before surgery. Now I don't really care who knows. I believe the more support the better! I feel great - nobody will ever convince me that the decision to have RNY was mistake. Given a chance, I think most people are willing to help and support.

So I started a new job last week and they're buying us lunch as a welcome/monthly meeting tomorrow. They're getting 99 which is fine' date=' I think I can find something to eat from them. Nobody knows that I've had surgery. My problem is how do I explain the portion size. Already people are asking if I'm starving myself because I only have a yogurt or Protein Bar for lunch. I really don't want people to know I've had surgery. I already had to turn down an offer of m&ms from the owner. He asked why not so I told them I was on a dr supervised diet and he just stared at me with a strange look on his face. Has anyone else been in this situation and how did you handle it?[/quote']

I just say I don't eat sugar. Or I just tell then I had surgery.

Preop weight 389 current weight 327 that's 62 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

I unfortunately had to go out of town for a funeral 2 weeks ago. I used to work in business management and wore a dress or suit and heels everyday. Not a single one fit and I had to buy a new dress for the service. My sister has gained quite a bit of weight and have me all her smaller stuff that was too small for me before and it's also too big:)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
